360 project with DJI drone

[Jean dominique Lamy]

Hello, I'm trying to stick 360 images from DJI Panorama folder (I have to blur a part of the image).

When importing in PTgui it give me a big black box on top, and if I crop it then google photos faon't want to import it.

Any idea and to do a 360 stitching simply ? 

Thanks !

The black part on top is because you didn't shoot it. And if you crop
it, the aspect ratio of an equirectangular image isn't 2:1 any more, so
it doesn't qualify as a full sphere.

You have various possibilities: If you have the pro version you can
simply check Fill Holes in the Panorama Editor right flyout menu,
Blending section. This fills the hole with a more or less uniform color,
which in my opinion looks ugly.

Or you can use the Content Aware Fill in Photoshop or Inpainting in
Affinity Photo, to fill it with a hopefully more realistic sky. In
photoshop you would need to extract the zenith portion first, best with
my templates: http://www.erik-krause.de/ttt/#extract-insert

But best is to shoot the sky: You can simply land the drone, turn it
upside down and shoot the sky. Or you use another camera to shoot the
sky. Or you use the sky portion from another panorama. There are some
free skies on the internet...

Another option is to use PanGazer .. it fills the top with a graduated fill that works quite well when the top is all sky.

e.g., this tricky one with cut-off clouds:
